Abstract :
In this paper, we present an experimental validation of a new control method for a ZVS hyper-resonant inverter as a part of a high voltage/high power DC/DC converter, called current synchronized control. After a short reminder of its operation principle, we detail the implementation of a test bench for experimental validation. This bench enables us to identify practical considerations for its right operation and to compare it to a classical ZVS control mode
